LonesomeTheBlue TradingView Indicators: How to Actually Find Support and Resistance That Works (2025 Guide)

Ever wonder why some traders seem to nail support and resistance levels while you're left guessing? LonesomeTheBlue has cracked the code with TradingView indicators that automatically identify the price levels that actually matter—the ones where real money changes hands.

Who is LonesomeTheBlue?

LonesomeTheBlue isn't just another indicator creator throwing lines on charts. Since joining TradingView on July 29, 2017, they've built a following of over 166,000 traders by solving real problems—like finding support and resistance levels that don't break the moment you place a trade.

With 142 published scripts and a YouTube channel featuring 5,280 subscribers, LonesomeTheBlue focuses on one thing: creating tools that help you see what the market is actually doing, not what you hope it's doing.

The Indicators That Actually Work

Here's what makes LonesomeTheBlue's tools different from the usual collection of pretty but useless indicators cluttering most charts:

Support Resistance Channels

Think of this as having a smart assistant that watches every price move and automatically groups similar levels together. Instead of drawing random lines, it:

• Color-codes zones based on what's happening: red for resistance (where selling pressure shows up), lime for support (where buyers step in), and gray for those messy areas where nobody knows what's going on
• Gives each level a strength score based on how often price actually respects it—because a level that's been tested five times matters more than one that's been touched once
• Sends you alerts when price breaks through or bounces off these levels, so you don't have to stare at charts all day

Trend Lines Pro

Remember spending hours drawing trend lines, only to have them become useless the next day? This indicator handles that automatically:

• Draws multiple trend channels and updates them in real-time as new price action develops
• Shows you a handy table with trend angles over different time periods (50, 100, 150, 200 bars), so you can see if the trend is getting stronger or weaker
• Lets you customize everything from how sensitive it is to pivot points to what your alert messages say

Support Resistance Dynamic (v2)

This is the evolved version that adapts to changing market conditions:

• Adjusts sensitivity based on recent volatility—tighter zones in calm markets, wider zones when things get crazy
• Shows you broken levels and pivot markers, so you can see the full story of how price has moved
• Updates continuously as new data comes in, keeping your analysis current

Linear Regression Channel

For those who like their analysis with a side of statistics:

• Uses mathematical regression to create trend envelopes that show where price "should" be trading
• Constantly updates these boundaries as new price data comes in
• Helps you spot when price is getting stretched too far from its statistical norm

Setting Up These Indicators (The Right Way)

Here's how to actually get these tools working for you:

1. Find the indicators: Search "LonesomeTheBlue" in TradingView's indicator library
2. Add to your chart: Click "Add to Chart" and open the settings (that gear icon)
3. Tune the parameters:
   • For Trend Lines Pro: Adjust the pivot period based on your trading timeframe (shorter periods for day trading, longer for swing trading)
   • For Support Resistance Channels: Play with the look-back period until you get zones that make sense for your market
   • For Dynamic versions: Start with default settings and adjust based on how volatile your chosen asset is
4. Set up alerts: This is where the magic happens—learn how to set TradingView alerts properly so you get notified when something important happens, not every time price moves a penny

Trading Strategies That Actually Work

The Trend-Zone Combo

This is probably the most reliable setup you'll find:

1. Use both Support Resistance Channels and Trend Lines Pro on the same chart
2. Look for spots where a support zone lines up with a rising trend line—that's where buyers are likely to show up strong
3. Enter long when price bounces off this confluence area
4. Exit when price hits the next resistance zone or when your trend line gets broken

The Breakout Confirmation Method

For those who like to trade breakouts (but hate getting faked out):

• Wait for a breakout alert from the Support Resistance Channels
• Confirm it with volume—if volume is weak, the breakout probably won't stick
• Use other indicators like pivot points to confirm the move has legs
• Set your stop loss just below the broken level (for upside breakouts) or above it (for downside breaks)

Learning from the Community

LonesomeTheBlue has built more than just indicators—they've created a community of traders who actually share useful information:

• TradingView discussions: Real traders share how they've tweaked settings for different markets and timeframes
• Twitter updates: Get notified about new releases and parameter recommendations that actually work
• YouTube tutorials: Step-by-step videos showing how to use each indicator in real market conditions, not just perfect examples

Common Questions (And Honest Answers)

Q: How often do these indicators get updated? A: Major updates happen about every quarter, usually when TradingView adds new features or when users request specific improvements. Minor tweaks happen more frequently.

Q: Can I change the alert messages to say what I want? A: Yes, and you should. The default messages are fine, but customizing them to match your trading style makes everything clearer when you're getting notifications.

Q: Do these work on all timeframes? A: They work on everything from 1-minute charts (if you're into that kind of stress) to weekly charts for long-term analysis. The key is adjusting the parameters to match your timeframe.

Q: Are these indicators suitable for beginners? A: Absolutely, but don't expect them to do all the work for you. They'll show you where important levels are, but you still need to understand basic market dynamics and risk management.

Q: Can I use these with other indicators? A: Yes, and you should. They work particularly well with swing trading indicators and volume-based tools. Just don't overload your chart with so many indicators that you can't see the actual price action.

Q: Do these indicators repaint? A: The Linear Regression Channel does repaint by design (it needs to update as new data comes in), but the support and resistance levels are solid once they're established.

Q: What's the difference between the regular and Dynamic versions? A: The Dynamic versions adapt to changing market conditions automatically, while the regular versions use fixed parameters. Dynamic is better for volatile markets, regular is better when you want consistency.

Q: Can I backtest strategies using these indicators? A: While these are primarily visual indicators, you can incorporate their logic into Pine Script strategies for backtesting purposes.

Ready to Stop Guessing Where Support and Resistance Are?

Here's what you should do next: Start with the Support Resistance Channels indicator on a market you know well. Spend a week just watching how price reacts at the levels it identifies. Don't trade yet—just observe.

Once you see how accurate these levels are, add the Trend Lines Pro indicator and start looking for confluence areas where support/resistance meets trend lines. That's where the real opportunities hide.

Remember: The best indicator in the world won't help you if you don't understand what it's telling you. Start simple, learn the basics, and gradually add complexity as you get comfortable with each tool.
